"CAPTAIN FAYSSOUX BORNE TO HIS REST.
----
Having passed by seven years the allotted three score and ten - a long span of life replete with good and noble deeds - Captain Callender Irvine Fayssoux met death as calmly and as bravely as on a hundred battle fields and in heroic conflicts at sea he had faced and dared his foes.

He was, both on his father's and mother's side, entitled to membership in that patriotic band. His paternal grandfather was chief surgeon of the revolutionary forces during the war of Independence, and his maternal grandfather was General Irvine, who commanded a division under Washington at the crossing of the Delaware......."
